Master Bathroom - Part 2

Hello! I hope you are all having a fabulous week! After many months of procrastinating, I am finally finished the cabinet section of our master bathroom! 

{The blue mason jar projects can be found here}

I still have to add some more accessories and touch up a few paint spots from when the new countertop was installed but it is close enough to call it done!

 And since the Before and After shots are always fun....

Now I really wanted an undermount sink {and granite countertops would have been nice too!} but the budget only allowed for a basic laminate countertop.  I also replaced the light {which I have absolutely hated ever since we moved in 10 years ago}, changed out the faucet, changed the hinges, and added some funky knobs from Anthropology {these were my splurge!}.  


The cabinets have actually been through three re-paintings which is one of the reasons that this project took so long to complete.  I originally painted them with Annie Sloan chalk paint in Old White.  It ended up being too cream so I painted them again with a white latex paint.  I then decided that they were white and tried to add  a glaze to it.

Let's just say it didn't turn out so well.

So everything had to be sanded down once again and re-painted {CIL Whisper White}.  


The faucet was also a pain to install as the original plumbing was really wonky.  I actually had to cut the piping and install new water shut off valves.  I ended up making three trips down to the local hardware store and even carted down my sink on one of my visits!  I am sure they are hoping I do not come back again!  Anyways, if you are looking to install a faucet for the first time, this You Tube video may be helpful for you.


You can find Part 1 of the bathroom makeover here and here.  And if you want to see how the cabinets are organized behind the scenes you can check out this post.


Now I just need to do some curtains for over the bathtub and change out the faucet on the bathtub.  An end is in sight!


Have a great day!!

Imagine your own personal retreat that refreshes you every waking hour, reinvigorates the spirit any time of the day, and distresses with each day's end... spoiling you and your partner again and again and again. With master bathroom remodeling, imagine no more. With trends tending towards creating a personal and intimate area of pure indulgence many homeowners are tempted to undertake such home improvement. And who wouldn't? Not only does this afford you your everyday dose of luxury but also your home considerable boost in value.
